Hopefully set to be this year's Elbow, a band that have been around for ages, produced some critically acclaimed albums and loved by some, Doves are returning this year with their third album Kingdom of Rust.

The Last Broadcast is one of my favourite straight up indie albums, from the delicate lo-fi M62 song to the effervescent Pounding, the album sound tracked a winter way back in 2002. Beautifully orchestrated, Doves have a wonderful talent for writing simple pop songs and then surrounding them on an album with songs that are expansive and equally strong but just not suitable for radio play. After the equally strong Some Cities back in 2005, pushed once again into recognition on the strength of Black and White Towns, Doves seemed to get sucked under with the explosion of bands such as The Futureheads and Bloc Party who focused less on the depth of orchestration and steered British music in the angular, spiky guitar records that soon flooded the markets.

However, they're back and with extreme promise. Check out the video below for new single Kingdon of Rust and here's to the return of a quintessentially british band
